About this home

Perched above the city in the hills of City Terrace, this stylish 3-bed, 2-bath residence offers approximately 1,791 sq. ft. (BTV) of flexible living space, including 1,216 sq. ft. on the main level plus an additional ~575 sq. ft. lower-level basement/bonus area. Thoughtfully reimagined with curated finishes and soulful design, the home blends modern comfort with sweeping treetop views and a warm, creative energy. A gated driveway and tiled entry staircase framed by vibrant landscaping set the tone as you arrive. Just off the entry, the living room captures tranquil hillside and treetop views, flowing seamlessly into the dining area and modern kitchen. The kitchen features designer tilework, a statement island, and sleek modern lighting that ties the space together beautifully. The main level is thoughtfully arranged with a private primary suite, two additional bedrooms, a well-placed hall bath, a dedicated laundry area, and a flexible office/third bedroom—ideal for work-from-home or guest needs. Below the main living area, a gated two-car garage connects to the expansive basement/bonus space—perfect as a creative studio, office, gym, or oversized storage area. This lower-level space already functions beautifully as-is and is ready for permitting should a future owner wish to convert it into an ADU or expanded living area. Sliding glass doors off the kitchen open to a private, multi-level backyard ideal for al fresco dining or relaxing under the city lights. With its thoughtful floor plan, gated frontage, flexible bonus space, and close proximity to DTLA, the Arts District, and Eastside favorites, this home captures the creative spirit and easygoing energy that define life in City Terrace.

Pros & Cons

Modern & Thoughtful Renovation: Recently 'reimagined with curated finishes and soulful design,' the home features a modern kitchen with designer tilework and a statement island, providing a stylish, move-in ready environment.
Sweeping Treetop & City Views: Perched in the hills, the residence offers tranquil hillside, treetop, and city lights views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and providing a serene backdrop.

Desirable Location & Accessibility: Situated in City Terrace, the home benefits from an elevated position and close proximity to major urban centers like DTLA, the Arts District, and popular Eastside amenities.

Cons

Older Construction (1971): Despite recent renovations, the home's original construction year (1971) suggests potential for older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that may not have been fully updated, potentially leading to future maintenance.
Split Square Footage & 'BTV' Clause: The total flexible living space of ~1,791 sq. ft. includes a ~575 sq. ft. bonus area, with the main level being 1,216 sq. ft. The 'Buyer To Verify' (BTV) clause and the distinction between main and bonus square footage could lead to questions regarding permitted living space and appraisal value.
Hillside Property Considerations: While offering great views, the hillside location may present challenges such as potentially steep access (gated driveway and tiled entry staircase), limited flat yard space, and specific maintenance requirements related to hillside stability or drainage.
